5 Reasons To Consider Investing Into Oil & Gas Wells



*Potential Inflation Hedge-

Oil and gas investments are a natural hedge against inflation. Over time as prices increase the producers pass these rising costs on to consumers. This means that your purchasing power has the potential to increase because your cash flow increases as prices rise giving you one of the best hedges ever in terms of reducing the risk of inflation on your investment portfolio.



Mitigate Risk

Hydrocarbons have the potential to reduce the overall volatility in an investment portfolio. Oil and gas as an asset class has characteristics that no other sector of investing has. This simply means that between the non-correlation of oil and gas relative to an overall portfolio coupled with the potential for monthly cash flow systematic risk can be reduced, meaning less volatility as a whole on your investment portfolio.



**Potential Tax Benefits

Direct investing in oil and gas can provide you with the opportunity to reduce your income tax liability substantially. The Intangible Drilling Cost and the Tangible Drilling Cost deduction can help make April 15th a lot more enjoyable. You may be able to deduct up to 60%-80% of your tital investment in the first year.



**Tax Favored Income

Income tax on monthly distributions may be reduced 15% by the depletion allowance available to investors using independent producers in oil and gas. Depletion is the using up of natural resources by mining, drilling, quarrying stone, or cutting timber. The depletion deduction allows an owner or operator to account for the reduction of a product’s reserves.

Tax preparation can be a complicated matter. Check with your CPA or other qualified tax preparers to see if you qualify.
